Okay, it's likely Ronda Rousey will retire after tonight, as she probably knows she is not going to get the belt again and it's not like she needs the money.
However, if she was to continue, which could very much mean changing camps, perhaps it would be wise instead of concentrating on boxing she should focus on wrestling.
It is clear from tonight her boxing is not good enough offensively or defensively and although, she can make improvements it will never be better than for example Nunes. She needs to get the fight to the ground and in order to do that she needs to close the distance. Boxing her way in and getting punched in the face to get to the clinch will get her knocked out like it did tonight before she gets that chance.
If she was to mix her judo play with wrestling and namely going for a double leg, it will allow her to close the distance and even if they manage to stuff it, she is closer to being able to get to the clinch or even drag them onto the ground.
Shaub said somethings wrong with her knees so she does virtually zero cross training with wrestling in the vein of takedowns/double/single.
And like it was said before, her coach is the dumbest man on earth who does not know what hes doing.
Who else do you know has had success coming out of his camp?
Bottom line, new coach but she NOW has to be a REAL Mixed Martial Artist. And that may take more effort than shes willing to put into. Shes programmed herself into thinking what she normally does works.
Shes weak minded and will only do this if she knows she can win...or its easy.
